For dies, I recommend the small base die. Gives better feeding in SA guns. Buying 300 brass simplifies the process, but converting 223 brass is cheaper. For more info go to www.300blktalk.com/forum/index.php
I have started tearing down my test loads. I have quite a few and will likely not be to fire them. Too many things that need completed.
When I got into some 9 mm loaded with 800-X I found some where the powder was sticking in the case. Powder bought at the end of the Obama panic, so it should...
I agree with on the,300 stainless.. but the steel is not truly as stainless, it has steel and Will rust. When I started in B-52 repair and got my introduction to design with stainless, my first question was why do I need a finish callout for the raw material.. Because it rusts.
On hardcast...
Brad would have given you some grief for calling any of his bullets hard cast. He despised the term and dared anyone to find a verified definition. That's why only the BHN is used. Now the most he can do is roll in his grave. :D
I was having trouble with my RCBS hand primer. The gate on the tray kept sliding shut, a real frustration. So I put on my Tom Terrific hat.
I used two small pieces of scotch tape at the end of the slot and I cut slot with the a sharp knife. Now the gate stays in place and can slide to the...

I've loaded Autocomp behind lead in 38 spl, 357 mag and 45 Colt. Great accuracy and zero problems. If I didn't already have enough other powders to last a lifetime or 2 I would make it my go to.
CD-C & CD-G on the New Cobra. CD-S on the King. They all interchange. Bought the S for the King because I needed a grip to fit my giant hands.

I have two tools that I use. One is a primer pocket reamer that I attach a handle to. The is a chamfer and deburr tool. I chuck the case in the drill and remove the crimp.
Not trying to rain on your parade, but questioning your sources. I have been spitting out rounds loaded with 148 gr. LSCW cast with wheel-weight lead. Per Lee #2 loaded with 6.4 gr. Unigue shows 1,465 fps at 33,800 PSI. Shot from a 686 I get minimal leading that is removed with a brush wrapped...
